Why should someone vote for you for a seat on the Harbor and Shellfish Advisory Board?

Jo Perkins: To be voted for and hold a seat on HSAB (SHAB) would show our interests and priorities are similar and that you too support the ongoing efforts of: shellfish propagation, release and monitoring, aquaculture, the approval of Nantucket Shellfish and Management Plan, eel-grass restoration in shellfish beds, improved circulation in the harbor, increasing water quality and monitoring measures, the seed-stranding team, reducing or managing any potentially-negative factors in our harbors; fertilizer, runoff and by-catch; the value or revisions to Chapter 22 of the Town Code will have once completed to both recreational and commercial shellfishing and the importance of Best Practices Management (BPM) implementation and follow-through.

To work together ensuring we will have a healthy harbor able to sustain a diverse habitat for both commercial and recreational harvesting as well as personal enjoyment and satisfaction knowing we are doing our best to take care of a valuable asset for the future.
